Just bought a 99 Camaro Ss and would like to know what would be the best clutch to go with?

Anything done to the car?

If you have anything done or plan on doing bolt-ons to mild/heads cam, the ls7 clutch package from tick /w adjustable master cylinder would be perfect.

Depending on how the OP drives his car, alot of people may disagree with part of that statement. Cant go wrong with the tick master from what I've heard but I've definitely heard plenty of horror stories with the LS7 clutch. Not exactly the friendliest clutch to beat on imo. Really depends on what the driver is going to do with the car. If you're fairly hard on it, I would NOT get an LS7 clutch.

From the mods you say your getting it sounds like you have a lead foot lol. Get the Monster clutch, you'll be happy with it. Do a search here and you'll find plenty of guys running them.

There are lots of clutches out there and lots of opinions on what is best. Based on your plans one of our Stage 1 kits would be a great option. Take a look at the link below and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!!
